Paper Knitting Yarn

This page gathers the paper yarns under Threads: YarnArt Cord Yarn (cord structure, sturdy) and Hello Papier Soft (soft twist) paper yarns in a wide colour card. Cellulose-based paper yarn is light, holds its shape and, with its straw look, is the favourite material for summer bags, hats, baskets and plant pot covers. The detailed guide is in Paper Knitting Yarn, raffia and bag yarns in Bag and Accessory Yarn, summer yarns in Summer Yarn, all knitting yarn in Hand Knitting Yarn.

Crocheting with Paper Yarn

Worked in single crochet with a 3–4 mm hook; a medium beach bag takes 2–3 balls, a hat 1–2, a basket 1. Cord Yarn is stiff for baskets and pots, Papier Soft is soft for hats and bags. It softens when wet and takes its shape when dry; not machine washable.
